Just when matter had started to get going nicely and shape of the universe began to emerge from the Big Bang itself, complexity was born! Nowadays of course, with complexity being almost as old as the universe itself, it’s also been around the block a few times and knows a thing or two about getting its own way, but it is possible to fight back. Entropy isn’t necessarily the only fate that awaits us.

Scientists expect the universe to exist for around 15 Billion years… then there’s going to be a hard stop — a very, very hard stop! Now I’m not saying that TOGAF™ can save the universe, but from where I’m sitting, it looks like our best bet at the moment!
